ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL QUALITY: THEORY, METHODOLOGY, PRACTICE OF APPLICATION IN THE AGRICULTURAL SPHERE

The article is devoted to the development of V. Leontiev's methodology of inter-industry balance by supplementing the classical input-output tables with indicators of technological quality of inter-industry interactions, which allows, along with the cost, to take into account the usefulness of flows of economic goods between interacting types of economic activity. The author's methodology for determining the technological quality of economic goods and their volumes (flows) is presented. Using this methodology, a corresponding analysis of agriculture as a type of economic activity for Belarus, Russia and some other countries of the world is carried out. It is shown that the methodology of inter-industry balance by V. Leontiev, modified in a similar way, can be used to assess and manage the technological and economic security of socio-economic systems, and also serve as an effective tool for overcoming contradictions caused by the development of technique and technology.
